This game is worthless to me as an MMO until it gets away from its console controller scheme that limits your ability bars to a ridiculous level, lower than any other MMO I have ever played. What is the point in developing a character and unlocking…
For Iron Man...
Unibeam needs work...it needs to follow the trend with WM's spitfire...less channel, bigger cone...and more damage. Right now, I can just spam Repulsor Barrage...and do the same damage as using fully charged unibeams with RB as fil…
Very much appreciate the work on Gambit.
One outstanding issue for ranged builds...his sig (52) and DMH have a targeting issue...as primarily boss killer skills, they don't have a pierce or lock as so many other heroes do with their single target…
Yes, games like TOR can never, ever keep their themeparks full of new stuff at the rate of player burn through. It is so obvious. Damon Schubert wrote in a blog post about a year before release that TOR/BW understood that making a star wars game…
The MAIN thing you didn't talk about in this article is the PRODUCT itself. The product will largely determine if people are willing to pay for it. I have yet to hear ONE person be really enthusiastic about it from the list of people I know that h…

Many many players did it or started it simply because i…
Thank you for the replies and for the links. They are both insightful and discuss age old problems. You are indeed correct, I did come from a p&p AD&D model, along with many other TSR games. But notice I did not limit progression in an MM…
It isn't an assumption, it is my experience. What do you think is at their core? Why do MMOs typically raise level caps over time, for example? MMOs are about progression and long term relationships...progressing your guild, your character, your…
You can not have a star wars MMO and have no jedi in it. The mistake of SWG was NOT in having jedi. That had to happen. The mistake was in having ONLY ONE alpha class. MMOs have to have character progression. What got people grinding and then …
" It basically amounts to nothing more than a minigame, and for a Star Wars game, this is a bit of a disappointment..."
Understatement of the decade. Putting a single player railshooter in as the space component of a AAA, 100mill+ dollar MMO tha…

Ive been in the beta for several builds now, so I'll take a shot at a couple of questions for ya:
Did you find that the lack of a robust character generator and the lack of any kind of appearance system detracted from your ability to "identify" wi…
Its a raid people, wth are you expecting? Thats why its nice that it has raids, but it is even MORE critical that it has something OTHER than raids for endgame.
I think restrictions stink and are indeed a symptom of a "devs know best and deserve to dictate/micromanage play" attitude.
I play a game to make my own choices. TO create my toons appearance. To create elements of my own personal story. Why l…
Where are you getting those numbers from? I seriously doubt they are authoritative.
Irregardless, we know one thing for sure, whatever they were before teh NGE, they were much worse after the NGE and the game never recovered.
oh yeah, the starship hanger and the vehicle hanger, the imperial spire and the rebel spire, and the creature barn, and Im STILL probably missing some more...
The list of housing items released in the TCG is a very very long list of the coolest structures in the game, for example:
jedi temple, sith temple, bathhouse, cloud city house, at-at house, vip bunker, weapons bunker, dagobah house, and diner...I…
SOE is the land of misfit MMOs. They seem willing to, as a business model, run MMOs into the ground, with skeleton staffs, to milk as much money from players as possible,
This does not sit will with me as a potential customer. It takes money to …
